Christmas Tree Collection
For the past 30 years, the City of Lethbridge has partnered with local youth groups to ensure that Christmas trees continue to give after the holiday season. Over 1.5 million kilograms, or approximately 95,000 Christmas trees, have been diverted from the landfill since the program began.

This year's collection will take place Saturday, January 11, 2025.
